If either foo or stmt1 are simple, I much prefer...
	if (foo) stmt1;
If both foo and stmt1 are complex, I prefer...
	if (foo)
		stmt1;
I almost never prefer...
	if (foo) {
		stmt1;
	}

I don't find the extra punctuation adds to the readability of the
code. I don't like extra parenthesis around the argument to the
keywords return and sizeof for the same reason.
	return n;
not
	return (n);
and
	sizeof buf
not
	sizeof (buf)
